Johnny Marr has claimed he is looking forward to seeing Metallica play their Glastonbury headline slot. When interviewed by NME at the Ivor Novello awards in London, Marr was asked what he thought would be the music event of the summer and instantly responded that Metallica’s set at Glastonbury would make the grade.
However, we wouldn’t blame you for being a little sceptical of his true views towards the bands place on the bill. When asked to give his reasons he simply stated that it would be ‘Funny’ and gave a cheeky smile although he claimed that they deserve the headine position.
It’s no secret that Metallica is certainly an unusual choice for a festival of this type but, since Jay Z’s performance in 2008, the festival proved that unusual choices can be a huge success. Let’s see if Metallica prove to have what it takes to pull it off.
